I have several reports on which the dynamic selection is not working. For instance, the report CN43N. The report is outputting all data in a year i.e it is disregarding the condition I specified in the dynamic selection fields.
Is there some configuration to make to this report so that the dynamic selection works?
Include field are only possible for fields are realte to PS table:
1. Execute Transaction SE36.
2. Logical Database Builder: PSJ 3. Choose "Extras -> Selection views".
4. Copy selection view "SAP" to "CUS".
5. Change view "CUS".
6. Go to "Tables", select the correct table, for example table ACT01 for object type "Activity".
Here, you must ensure that this table is also listed under "Extras -> Dynamic selections" - only these tables can be used.
7. Double-click on the table name.
8. In the "Fields of the table", select the fields desired and allocate them to one of the
"Functional groups".
9. Save. http://www.sap-img.com/sap-ps.htm
The Project System has no organizational structures of its own; you incorporate it into the existing structure by making assignments to the organizational units in Accounting and Logistics. It is this which enables the Project System to present data clearly and in many different ways.
Q ; My company is contemplating the implementation of SAP Project Systems (PS)this year. But having already implemented CO (internal orders) and IM, which covers some aspects of the life cycle of capital projects, to what extent will there exists duplicity in the SAP system, and what aspects of the installed modules will be subject to
change/modifications to accommodate PS? Also, what kind of implementation time can we expect?
Answer : SAP PS is designed to work well with both CO and IM. The PS module will allow better management of your projects. Allow adequate time in your project to review your requirements and understand the impact this new module will have on your
existing setup. Also include time for testing and training so that you can ensure the new
features work properly and your clients understand how to achieve the benefits.
What parameter is used to extend the maximum number of GUI sessions in a 4.6C environment?
RESPONSE
The parameter is "rdisp/max_alt_modes" and its default value is 6 sessions. The minimum is 2 and the maximum is 16. Use transaction RZ11 to get additional
information about the parameters and use RZ10 to implement the parameters. also, you might want to look into these other parameters:
login/multi_login_users
login/disable_multi_gui_login

Validation in PS - WBS
I want to validate the customer number in one of the user fields in WBS. The formula builder in the validation screen, it seems, does not support table fields other than fields from PRPS. Can this be done thru some user exits ?? If yes how ?? Can you guide me in this ??
Answer :
To use a user exit in validations, you have to perform following steps;
- copy SAP standard program GGBS002 to ZGGBS002 - create a user exit in this program (such as U902, U903 etc)
- the user exit you defined in the above mentioned program will be visible in validations on screen tab 'Exits' - configure your validation with 'User exit' as option
How To Create a Multilevel BOM
How To Create a Multilevel BOM and How Does It Work
{mosbanner:id=23}
Multi level bom is a Bom which it has different components at different level..for example:
- A ( finished material) - B ( semi finished) - C ( Raw material)
When you run the MRP, Bom will explode upto last level and it will plan the requirement of each individual material.
What ever may be the kind of BOM to be created transaction codes are as below:
- CS01 : BOM create - CS02: BOM Change - CS03: BOM display
Pre requisites are material master record for the materials.
What you have to keep in mind is:
1. BOM creation is through CS01 only.
2. When you have to create multilevel BOM, you have to carry craetion of BOM level by level.
3. First create BOM for assemblies (means materials which are produced inhouse, means materials with procurement type "E" in the material master MRP 2 view).
4. Finally create BOM for the finished product using these assemblies as components.
5. When you see the BOM of finished part after creation through CS03, you can find these assemblies with a tick mark in the field "Assembly". When you double click you can see the susequent BOM of these assemblies.
6. Example would be for a vehicle suppose engine, front wheel, back wheel are the "E"parts. Create BOM first for these engine, front wheel and backwheel with respective material components.
Then create BOM for vehicle with these three "E".
When you see the BOM of vehicle after creation, you can see a tick mark against these E parts which shows that they have BOM furtehr down and you can double click and see the components of these
Validation in PS
am trying to use validation in the Project. Can any one tell when are the call up points 110 and 120 trigerred ?
I want to validate one of the user defined fields in WBS.
Everything is working fine when I simulate the validation. But when I enter a value in the user defined field and save the project then I do not get the error message as expected.
Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong ??
Answer :
Please see if you have checked the check box for Automatic validation in the relevant project profile.
WBS Elements
1. What is WBS element?
2. What is the Tcode to get to that screen?
3. What is the need and pupose of WBS element?
4. Do we happen to work on Functional module during our implementaion project?
5. In what scenario/situation we will be working on WBS?
WBS is nothing but Work Breakdown Structure. It is mainly used in Project System (PS) module. Tcode : CJ20N
For any project defined we must have atleast one WBS. Within this WBS we can have networks. Networks are nothing but the series of activities. Material are used to perform the activities.
To explain in detail just consider one example:
Govt of india wants to have Roads to be build through out the india. So Project can be defined in sap as
"Connectivity".
WBS can be roads within different states like Roads for Gujarat, Karnataka etc.. i.e. WBS Gujarat, WBS Karnataka etc.
We can define different networks for these WBS like Road Between Ahmedabad to Surat or Between Bangalore to Belgham.
For this network we can have many activities like Land selection, Land Preparation, Road Building, Final finishing etc etc.
Hemal's example was a good example. Project Systems comes into play only when the industry's business is based on projects like... Construction companies, Engineer to Order scenarios. You may not see anyone using PS module for retail business. As Hemal explained in that example, you have a main project which is broken down into WBS elements. You can use the TC CJ20N to create the project and the WBS elements. Each WBS may have mutiple Networks associated and each Network may have multiple Network Activities as explained in the example by Hemal.
On the Sales Order, if your client is implementing PS module, you may have to attach the Sales Order to the WBS element it belongs to. WBS element is nothing but a bucket where all the activities belonging to that particular part of the project are captured. In the example, WBS Gujurat will tell you how many Sales Orders were created for the Gujurat sector, howmuch was spent on raw materials, what's the currect stock ([roject stock) available. How many Production Orders have been confirmed and howmany of them are getting confrmed in the future. How many invoices have been generated or how much revenue has been generated for that particular sector. How many deliveries have been made, what deliverables are still not accomplished.
So as you can see, PS is the center stage for all the modules that are being implemented like FI/CO, SD, MM, PP in this example. You can have cost centers and work centers defined. You can also have profit centers assigned at the
plant level and get reports on varius selection criteria.
In a complete cycle of PS, like in reality, you initiate a project, you confirm/release the WBS/activities as per requirement, you execute the project and you close it.
One cannot initiate an activity unless it has been released by the project manager. Everything is accountable here and every dime is counted and at the end you know howmuch did you spend or make on each sector (WBS). Dont get confused with the term sector here... I am using it just for the explaination purposes. :)
In one typical example, the company I was working with until not too long ago, had Deliveries from the Project (TC:
CNS0). We never used VL01N. We used CNS0 to create a delivery and then used VL02N for confirming the picking quantity for the already created delivery document.
I hope this should help you at least a bit. I'm not a PS consultant so I may not know a whole lot but trying going to CJ20N and you will see a lot yourself.
PS concultants are one of the highest paid consultants. Their supply is less and so is the demand. They are expected to understand real world business processes very well and they are generally the center stage of a project.

Hierarchical Structure of the Project definition
A few Definitions of the terminologies used in the above diagram:
P R O J E C T :
The project definition is the binding framework for all organizational elements within a project.
W O R K B R E A K D O W N S T R U C T U R E :
With a work breakdown structure you can divide the project into useful steps, specify fixed or
"basic" dates, specify the work involved, and determine project costs. The individual levels of the hierarchy in a work breakdown structure enable you to organize a project into steps.
W O R K B R E A K D O W N S T R U C T U R E E L E M E N T ( S U B W B S ) :
You can further break down these steps into individual elements. Maximum steps supported are 99.
N E T W O R K :
It is a special type work order on which cost can be planned, controlled and monitored.
A C T I V I T I E S :
These are the actual tasks that are to be executed for the completion of the project

SAP R/3 is based on a three tier client/server technology. Typically, it is made up of three functionally distinct layers namely: the user interface, business logic and database.
The user interface, which is otherwise known as the presentation server displays the interface for users' communication with the SAP system. It is often referred to as the SAP GUI. As a matter of fact, it is a program called sapgui.exe. The application server is where the business logic and data manipulation takes place. Data processing, SAP administration tasks and client request/feedback management are handled within the business layer. The database layer is synonymous to the database server and it typically acts as a data repository for tables and other database objects and structures
Ideally, an R/3 system is composed of one database server, one or more application servers and one or more presentation servers. SAP Business One on the other hand is composed of a database server and one or more presentation servers.
the difference between SAP Business One and SAP R/3. The non technical answer to this question is that; SAP Business One is SAP's offering for small and mid size companies, while R/3 is SAP's offering for large companies.
Procedure: What to Do in Case of Power Failure in SAP Project.
The procedure to be followed in case of a power failure in the power sources of either the productive or backup server.
1. Check the UPS Make sure the UPS is functioning properly, and check the remaining time. You should have approximately XX minutes to shut down the system.
2. Log onto SAP and check for users and processes If any users are still on SAP, send a system message for them to log off immediately. Check for background processes,
interrupted user processes, and other processes that may need attention before shutting down, and record them in the Power Failure Log.
3. Stop SAP and Shut Down the Database Refer to Starting/Stopping the Database and SAP for detailed instructions on shutting down SAP and the database.
4. Shut down the Server Refer to Powering On/Off the Server and the UPS for detailed instructions on powering off the server
5. Power Off the UPS Refer to Powering On/Off the Server and the UPS for detailed instructions on powering off the server
